Introducing a clear, hopeful guide to hair regrowth for everyone—from the newly curious to the scientifically savvy. In today's Deep Dive, we explore how the hair follicle’s growth cycle works (hello, anagen), why the dermal papilla and bulge stem cells matter, and what regenerative medicine is bringing to the table. We break down real treatments y…
